The purpose of the present study was to culturally adapt and validate the Children's Knowledge of Abuse Questionnaire-RIII (CKAQ-RIII), a tool that examines children's understanding of sexual abuse concepts, for use in Greek elementary schools. A sample of 467 Greek school children between the ages of 6-9 was recruited from a private school. The CKAQ-RIII was administrated three times, before and immediately after a Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) prevention intervention program, as well as during a one-year follow-up evaluation. A subsample of the original population (N = 113) completed the one year follow up administration of CKAQ-RIII, along with the Body Awareness (BA) and the Emotional Differentiation (ED) subscales of the Emotion Awareness Questionnaire (EAQ). Internal consistency was high for the inappropriate touch scale (ITS) of the CKAQ-RIII and moderate for the appropriate touch subscale (ATS). Inter-item analysis showed that the majority of items were in an acceptable range. Pearson correlation coefficients analyses revealed strong associations between the two subscales of ITS and ATS, and the overall scores of the questionnaire. A mixed-subjects analysis of variance on the ITS showed an increase in knowledge post intervention, with third graders (8-9 year olds) generally scoring higher at baseline and demonstrating greater knowledge gains post intervention. A mixed-subjects analysis of variance was also conducted for the ATS where no significant increase in knowledge was found. Furthermore, analysis revealed a good concurrent criterion validity with good levels of agreement between CKAQ-RIII and ED, whereas no relationship was established between CKAQ-RIII and BA.
本研究的目的是对《儿童虐待知识问卷-RIII》(CKAQ-RIII)进行文化调适和验证,该工具用于考察儿童对性虐待概念的理解,以便在希腊小学使用。从一所私立学校招募了467名6至9岁的希腊学童作为样本。在儿童性虐待(CSA)预防干预项目之前、之后立即以及在为期一年的随访评估期间,对CKAQ-RIII进行了三次施测。原始样本中的一个子样本(N = 113)完成了CKAQ-RIII的一年随访施测,以及情感意识问卷(EAQ)的身体意识(BA)和情感分化(ED)分量表。CKAQ-RIII的不适当触摸量表(ITS)的内部一致性较高,适当触摸分量表(ATS)的内部一致性中等。项目间分析表明,大多数项目处于可接受范围内。皮尔逊相关系数分析显示,ITS和ATS的两个分量表与问卷总分之间存在强关联。对ITS进行的混合受试者方差分析表明,干预后知识有所增加,三年级学生(8至9岁)在基线时得分普遍较高,干预后知识增长幅度更大。对ATS也进行了混合受试者方差分析,未发现知识有显著增加。此外,分析显示CKAQ-RIII与ED之间具有良好的同时效度,一致性水平良好,而CKAQ-RIII与BA之间未建立关系。
